The Summit turning ownership of capital into stewardship of it
A national gathering for women building, deploying and preserving wealth, moving from passive ownership to active, values-aligned stewardship of their capital.
The largest transfer of wealth in history is passing into women’s hands, and ownership alone will not change what the capital does. The Summit sits in the space between the technical and the personal: practical financial fluency alongside the human questions money raises around identity, family, purpose, power and responsbility.
HEADLINING THE SUMMIT

Nobel Laureate & Co-Founder, Recess Capital
Malala will open the Summit in coversation about Recess Capital, the women’s sports investment platform she co-founded in 2025, and what it means for women not just to hold wealth, but to be powerful with it.
She joins a guest program of leading investors, family office principals, philanthropists and founders.
